Thank you and congratulations on choosing Miller. Now you can get
the job done and get it done right. We know you don’t have time to do
it any other way.
That’s why when Niels Miller first started building arc welders in 1929,
he made sure his products offered long-lasting value and superior
quality. Like you, his customers couldn’t afford anything less. Miller
products had to be more than the best they could be. They had to be the
best you could buy.
Today, the people that build and sell Miller products continue the
tradition. They’re just as committed to providing equipment and service
that meets the high standards of quality and value established in 1929.
This Owners Manual is designed to help you get the most out of your
Miller products. Please take time to read the Safety precautions. They
will help you protect yourself against potential hazards on the worksite.
We’ve made installation and operation quick
and easy. With Miller you can count on years
of reliable service with proper maintenance.
And if for some reason the unit needs repair,
there’s a Troubleshooting section that will
help you figure out what the problem is. The
parts list will then help you to decide the
exact part you may need to fix the problem.
Warranty and service information for your
particular model are also provided.
Miller is the first welding
equipment manufacturer in
the U.S.A. to be registered to
the ISO 9001 Quality System
Standard.
Working as hard as you do
every power source from
Miller is backed by the most
hassle-free warranty in the
business.

1-6. EMF Information
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric
and magnetic fields (EMF). Welding current creates an EMF field
around the welding circuit and welding equipment. EMF fields may inter-
fere with some medical implants, e.g. pacemakers. Protective
measures for persons wearing medical implants have to be taken. For
example, restrict access for passersby or conduct individual risk as-
sessment for welders. All welders should use the following procedures
in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a
cable cover.
2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange cables
to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the
welding circuit as possible.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.
7. Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire
feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the
device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.
If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recom-
mended.

2-6. Informations relatives aux CEM
Le courant électrique qui traverse tout conducteur génère des champs
électromagnétiques (CEM) à certains endroits. Le courant de soudage
crée un CEM autour du circuit et du matériel de soudage. Les CEM
peuvent créer des interférences avec certains implants médicaux
comme des stimulateurs cardiaques. Des mesures de protection pour
les porteurs d’implants médicaux doivent être prises: Limiter par
exemple tout accès aux passants ou procéder à une évaluation des
risques individuels pour les soudeurs. Tous les soudeurs doivent
appliquer les procédures suivantes pour minimiser l’exposition aux
CEM provenant du circuit de soudage:
1. Rassembler les câbles en les torsadant ou en les attachant avec
du ruban adhésif ou avec une housse.
2. Ne pas se tenir au milieu des câbles de soudage. Disposer les
câbles d’un côté et à distance de l’opérateur.
3. Ne pas courber et ne pas entourer les câbles autour de votre
corps.
4. Maintenir la tête et le torse aussi loin que possible du matériel du
circuit de soudage.
5. Connecter la pince sur la pièce aussi près que possible de la
soudure.
6. Ne pas travailler à proximité d’une source de soudage, ni
s’asseoir ou se pencher dessus.
7. Ne pas souder tout en portant la source de soudage ou le
dévidoir.
En ce qui concerne les implants médicaux :
Les porteurs d’implants doivent d’abord consulter leur médecin avant
de s’approcher des opérations de soudage à l’arc, de soudage par
points, de gougeage, du coupage plasma ou de chauffage par induc-
tion. Si le médecin approuve, il est recommandé de suivre les
procédures précédentes.

4-1. Important Information Regarding CE Products (Sold Within The EU)
! This equipment shall not be used by the general public as the EMF limits for the general public might be exceeded during welding.
This equipment is built in accordance with EN 609741 and is intended to be used only in an occupational environment (where the general public
access is prohibited or regulated in such a way as to be similar to occupational use) by an expert or an instructed person.
Wire feeders and ancillary equipment (such as torches, liquid cooling systems and arc striking and stabilizing devices) as part of the welding
circuit may not be a major contributor to the EMF. See the Owner’s Manuals for all components of the welding circuit for additional EMF exposure
information.
S The EMF assessment on this equipment was conducted at 0.5 meter.
S At a distance of 1 meter the EMF exposure values were less than 20% of the permissible values.

! Do not move or operate unit where
it could tip.
! 230 volt AC coolers only: Replace
power cord plug if supplied plug
does not match receptacle. Have a
qualified person install correct 230
volt AC plug according to national
and local codes.
1 Lift -Eye
If placing cooling unit on welding power
source, slots are provided in bottom of unit
so it fits over lift-eye.
To prevent overheating, make sure cooling
unit is positioned so airflow is not restricted.
2 115 Or 230 Volt AC Grounded Re-
ceptacle (Depending On Model)
An individual circuit capable of carrying 15
amperes and protected by fuses or circuit
breakers is recommended. Recom-
mended fuse or circuit breaker size is 15
amperes. For 230 volt models, an individu-
al branch circuit capable of carrying 10 am-
peres and protected by fuses or circuit
breakers is recommended. Recom-
mended fuse or circuit breaker size is 10
amperes.
NOTICE If welding power source has a
water valve, do not connect hoses to water
valve. Connect hoses as shown.

5 TIG Block
Customer supplied for use with some weld-
ing power sources, or use proper connec-
tor supplied with welding power source.
